Can those who got bakers VI pls share what the score on their lowest SJT pillar was🙏🏻

Im never going to understand whether with amberjack it’s an overall benchmark or whether there’s a minimum requirement on each individual section haha
I really want to know too. If it's the lowest score on a given pillar, I am cooked. Creative force seems to always be my weakest.

    I’m sure more people would have AC as it’s such a large intake form and also they usually have like 5 dates if they only sent two must be in batches. I wouldn’t give up totally right now
    I submitted my VI on the 19th of December. If people are submitting theirs later and getting ACs I think I just need to take the hint. Don’t think it’s over for you lot yet though.

    I've got my first written exercise tmrw and I acc have no clue what to expect. They have been so vague and just said I don't need any prior knowledge but like idek what it is I'll be writing all I know is it's 40 mins (this is w extra time). Any advice pls I'm getting desparate!!
    It’s a bit tough as written exercise is so vague. But, I know for Wedlake Bell we did a written exercise and I expected it to be a writing task. It was actually just a proof reading task and we had to highlight and amend a paper doc.
